our enemies around the world have sought nuclear weapons and missile technology. yet the obama administration has consistently reduced missile defense funding. they have abandoned previous bush administration bush administration strategies -- bush administration strategies that sought to respond to these emerging threats and has compromised the implementation of current missile defense programs. meanwhile they have sought elusive russian and now chinese approval of the right of the united states to defend itself. most recently the administration has abandoned its own missile defense strategy known as the phase adapive approach in favor of a stop-gap measure of finally placing the additional ground-base missiles in alaska they had previously canceled. i welcome the administration finally completing the missile field which it has attempted to close. although this reveals that they have no plan to reasonably respond to the real and foreseeable threats from north korea and iran. this announcement leaves the united states without an articulated missile defense strategy

we have the best technology. we have freedom. we have the rule of law. we need to do commonsense tax reform for the purposes of putting us in a position where we can create the jobs today and for generations to come because we will then create a fair, level playing field that allows us to start building things in america, allows us to put people to work for generations to come. so i appreciate my good friend from oklahoma bringing this issue to the forefront and having this conversation tonight. and i know he's bringing forth a copy of the code and the regulations and all you have to do is look at that colossal piece of paper or reams of paper, books of paper, 70,000 pages of statutory tax and regulation. we in america can do better. we as house republicans demand us to do better, and we will do better under the leadership that house republicans are doing in the ways and means committee and as a conference to make sure that we end up with a code that is simple, fair and no longer is riddled with loopholes, big government handouts, big government subsidie

travelers, dupont and united technologies. all doing better than expected. if we were to open right now we'd be up about 60 points. couple items to talk about. internet sales tax which used to be considered the amazon loophole. it cleared a procedural hurdle in the senate yesterday and it could get a vote this week and obama supports levying that tax. they say about $23 billion is lost a year with this loophole and amazon's no longer fighting this battle. actually they're so big and in so many different states that they do not even get involved in this discussion. it is ebay that's been lobbying heavily to keep this loophole in place as we all have enjoyed the benefit from time to time. i want to also point out netflix. you want to talk about andle? it reports after the close today. netflix reported yesterday. netflix stock was at like $53 last september. it is now over $200. they almost have as many subscribers as hbo does now. the stock is up 112%. >> unbelievable! >> 112% in a year. apple's down 30%. >> brian, stop right here. look at that. steve ratner,

( cheers and applause ) and that's not even the best part about this yolk-cellent product. >> and what makes rollie egg really great is their new easy-to-eat shape >> colbert: finally an egg shape that's easy to consume. the old egg shapes were so confusing. circles, ellipsoids. moist lumps. what do they think my mouth is made of? teeth? and i know what you're saying, greg. you're saying a gelatinous egg cylinder is great for breakfast but what if i want to enjoy a tube of eggs on the go? the rollie egg master has an answer for that too >> because of their round shape you can take them for a quick meal on the run. it's perfect for the office >> colbert: i know when i'm working long hours and i want to take a break there's nothing more refreshing than a hot egg rod. really.
